Blessed are you, God our Father,
For having created Mary so beautiful,
And for having given her to us as Mother
At the foot of the Cross of Jesus.
Blessed are You for having called us,
Like Bernadette,
To see Mary in your light
And to drink at the source of your Heart.
Mary, you know the misery and sins
of our lives and of the life of the world.
We want to entrust ourselves to you today
Totally and without reserve;
From you we will be reborn each day
By the power of the Spirit,
We will live the life of Jesus
As little servants of our brothers and sisters.
Teach us, Mary,
To carry the life of the Lord.
Teach us the yes of your heart.
This prayer is the beating heart of the “Family of Our Lady of Lourdes”. It takes up the essential themes of the Apparitions: the beauty of Mary, the light of the Grotto and the source of living water.
